This portable ramp from PetSTEP helps your pet overcome the prohibitive dimensions of stairs, vehicles, and furniture. To use, simply unfold the ramp and prop one end against a truck bed, vet table, or top step. Animals can walk up or down at a gentle incline, instead of struggling, jumping, or being lifted. With its sturdy structure and rubberized surface, the ramp helps reduce arthritis and dysplasia pain, lowers the chances of injury, and cuts down on back strain. The nonslip grip is compatible with virtually all edges. In addition to its primary function, the PetSTEP ramp has any number of secondary uses. With its 500-pound capacity, it's sturdy enough for humans, and separately sold accessories can convert it into a grooming table, wheeled cart, or water ramp. Designed to be rust-free and to float, the unit measures 70 by 18 inches and comes assembled. A latching mechanism keeps it closed between uses. --Emily Bedard

Features ribbed, non-slip rubberized coating that's safe for all pets. The convenient design will swing open and close in seconds and includes a universal grip that fits all vehicles and edges. Rust and corrosion-proof, the ramp washes easily with soap and water. Attach the optional leg kit to create a table that's great for tailgating and picnics. 70"L x 17"W x 21/2"D.

I purchased this ramp over 1yr ago to use for my large Yamaha 3500 Genset and am happy I did. This ramp is very sturdy and easy to fold and unfold. My large Yamaha genset rolls in and out of my tow vehicle. This ramp makes it a one person job.
 reliable ramp August 1, 2009

Our 90 pound husky just had ACL surgery and I bought this so he could get in and out of the SUV. It is a great ramp, easy to use, very sturdy, a cinch to unfold and very lightweight. The tread is very good and provides for sure footing. We have used it outside over a few steps for him and it has been left outside in the rain overnight. It is plastic, so being outside doesn't hurt it and the water runs right off it. I am really happy with it.
Love it! July 13, 2009

Our older dog sometimes has trouble jumping into the SUV, so we bought this for him. It was very easy to train both of our two dogs to use this ramp. We have had the opportunity to use this when we go on our long hikes, we are out for hours and have two very tired dogs when we get back. They walk right up the ramp with no problems.I have had the ramp for about two months and I would recommend this ramp as it is easy to use and to train a dog to use it. We keep it in our back seat to always have it handy. I look forward to using this ramp for years to come.
AWESOME PURCHASE!! June 24, 2009

We have a very old 20 pound rescue dog who has a terrible time with stairs. Very arthritic and has old orthopedic issues. We were lifting him constantly. Debated and researched ramps FOREVER.....finally settled on this one. We could not be more pleased!!!
First, I am a small woman, and this is EASY to lift; and I have no idea about where folks are getting this "pinching you fingers" stuff....I mean, yes, if something folds and you put your fingers in the way, you will get pinched, but you have to be stupid to do that! We carry over next door sometimes without even folding it.....very easy to manage BUT very well designed and sturdy. Love the rubber grips at the top and the ribbed ramp is just perfect. He learned to do it in 2 days and seems sort of proud that he can go up and down by himself now. We hear the "WOOF" at the door and there he is at the top of the ramp. BUY IT!!! It has changed out lives. And, Amazon is always excellent to deal with!!!!

Toby, our 90-lb "pup", got too old to get in and out of the SUV on his own. The Petstep saved the day. Easy to deploy, easy to fold and stow. You WILL crush your fingers ONCE while folding it up, but only once. Sorta like a child and a hot stove. Live and learn. I don't really see any way to redesign the edge to avoid this without making the Petstep more difficult to use. By the 3rd day I was able to deploy it from the back of the SUV in about 5 seconds, and stow it in about 10 seconds.
From a dog psychology standpoint, I found that even after using it for a year, Toby still wanted to leap off the ramp when he got halfway down. And his legs were not able to handle that, so I had to lead him down the ramp by holding his collar so he wouldn't try to jump off. In the end, it was prostate cancer that did him in. The Petstep is now stored in the garage and I'm sure we'll be using it again as soon as Lucy gets too old to jump in and out of the SUV on her own. But she's only 6 so she has a few more good years I think.
